NECKTIE BOX.

Application led. June 11,

To @ZZ whom t may concern.:

lie it known that l, limoen Coi-IN, a citizen o'i the United States oiAmerica, residing at N ew York city, horoup'h of lllanhats tan, countyand State ot' New York, have invented certain new and usefulllmprovements in llleciztie Bones, oli which the following is aspecilication.

This invention relates to necktie boxes and in particular' to the typeused lor the purpose or holding a single neektie Ylor display purposes.

lffhile l am aware that other necktieboxes have l'ieen made 'for displapurposes, l have i; tonnd that they will not securely hold the neclitiein position when the box is stood up vertically on one end for thepurpose oi showing' the necktie hetter.

it is a particular objeot therefore of my e invention to 'ovide aneektie holder which may be trietmially held in a hoX and which isprovided with a cat ont through which the tie may he passed, a portionof the out out being' so shaped that it will engage the 3 tie andprevent its movement longitudinally et the hof; when the latter is stoodon end Afor display purposes.

,ll-mother ohjeet of the invention is to provide 'for a hex, a holder inwhich the tie is ira p need. the holder heine' raised from the bottoniot' the bof; in that portion which retains the tie. so that the lattermay be placed in the. hoi; with a minimum ol labor and time.

A 'farther object is to provide a holder i which is slightly wider thanthe boli at its ends so that the same may be treed into the hoi; andheld therein securely.

lieiieiriiig' to the drawing wherein l have shown a preferred embodimentof my invention:

Figure l is a view in perspective ot necktie bof;7 holder and necktie inposition in the latter, the bon heling partly broken to -.show thesupporting means 'for the holder, lligare Q is a longitudinal sectiontaken on the line 2 2 of Figure l,

Figure 3, is a cross-section taken through the box and holder on theline 3 3 o'l Figure l, and

Figure e, is-a top plan view of the blank 'torni' ig the necktie holder.

eilierrine' to the drawing in detail indn Ltes the'usual tie holdingboi; which is i" v"ted olZ cardboard or the like. and 6 a holder intowhich the neektie is 19241:. Serial No. 719.235.

.inserted to be held in display position. It is necessary to provide aholder which will prevent the tie from sliding down when the hon stoodon end for display and in order to accomplish this, provide cut outs 'i'which form a retaining' bridge 8 in the holder, the upper side ofithisbridge 8 being cut ovally so that it YForms a lip 9 which will engagethe tie l0, when the saine is in position, to prevent its displacement.The holder (l is made from a piece of cardboard. which is cut so that itlits snugly into the box 5, the ends of said holder being slightly widerthan the inside width olf the hox so that the holder ends are forcedinto the latter and held therein ln order that the tie may be quicklyinserted into the holder, which is very 'desirable in honing' ties inlarge quantities individually for the holiday trade, I raise the centerportion li et the holder' oli' the bottoni oit the box through themedium or' two side pieces l2, which are bent downwardly to eng .ge thebottom and sides of the box when the holder is inserted. ln that portionil or the holder where the side pieces l2 are situated, the saine ismade wider than the rest olt the holder so that when the latter isinserted it will cause a slight bulge in the retaining' bridge 8, sothat the tie can be quickly passed thereunder' and be held securely inposition. The side pieces of course, keep the center o't the holder inraised position so that the tie can he easily inserted under the hridgeS.

lt will be noted that my improved tie holder can le stamped out of apiece of heavy paper or cardboard or the like after which the sidepieces l2 are simply bent down and the holder 8 is inserted into thebosv ready to receive a neoktie.

rllhe necktie is inserted easily and quickly and `when in place, the boxmay be stood on end to display the tie without danger of the latter'falling' out oli the holder as is the case where the tie is held inposition by a ribbon or other hand which takes goed deal of time toapply.

Having described my invention, what 'I claim is l.. l-r display boi;having therein an article holder the en( s and inidportion olE which areadapted to he trietionally held therein, depending ineens adiaeent themidportion oi the holder tor keeping the center portion or the holder inspaced relation with the bottom of the box, and a neektieretainingbridge formed in said center portion.

2. A display boX having therein an article holder adapted to be held inposition in Said box, side pieces on the holder adapted to engage thesides of the boxto raise the center portion of the holder ol' thebottoni of the box, said side pieces in their Contact With the sides ofthe box acting to bulge the center of the holder, and a neelitieretaining ineinber formed in the holder in the bulged portion thereof.

3. A display box having therein a frietionally retained holder, meansadj aeent the inidportion of said holder for keeping the center portionof 'the holder in spaced relation with the bottoni off' the box, saidholder being provided with out outs, the material between which acts asa retaining bridge lor a neektie when the saine is passed through saidontouts, said spacing inea-ns acting to bulge Said retaining bridge, anda lip liornied on said retaining bridge 'for engaging the tievwherebythe saine will be prevented from having movement longitudinally of the`box...
